Episode Details

The Apostle Paul wrote to real churches in real time, using metaphors that the original readers found relatable. He described our relationship with God and within our community using images like buildings, the human body, and family households. The more we understand the context of these metaphors, the more tangible they become. Join Dr. James Fickenscher, professor of exegetical theology, in an exploration of the simple word pictures that Paul used to convey deep spiritual truths.
